Losing weight, gaining hope
"The first year, I lost more than 20% of my body weight without exercising or going hungry. It seemed like a miracle, but it was just science. The book shows how I did it, and why."
In 2011, Jim Anderson had a problem. It came in the form of fat around his mid-section. Many pounds of fat. His father's life had been cut short by type-2 diabetes and heart-disease, and Jim desperately wanted to avoid the same fate. So he set out to make a change.
He reduced the carbohydrates in his diet, and soon realized the approach was the right one for him. "It wasn't just that I lost weight. I also felt good doing it. I felt I could eat low-carb forever."
Jim began living his life after carbs. Soon, he was blogging about it on his web site LifeAfterCarbs.com, entertaining and informing readers from around the world. In this book, based on his popular blog, Jim details what he has learned over the years about starting and staying on a low-carb, high-fat diet.
As tens of thousands of blog readers have discovered, Jim Anderson is a real person eating (mostly) real food. The Best of Life after Carbs, at once inspiring and amusing, shows what he did and why. It's an accurate portrait of one dieter's challenges and triumphs on the road to a healthier weight.
